I will face with grace
whatever the winds may blow my way
for I am no longer afraid to let go of a yesterday
that got up and went quite some time ago

and while I'm at it
I just wanted you to know
that I'm not scared
the way I was back then
when I allowed you
to bring me to my knees

I am not her
no longer is she,    me

That was then
but stronger I have grown
and I'll be just fine
as with faith, I embrace coming days unknown

and I'll do my best
to face with grace
whatever the winds may blow my way.




after a fall I get back up,
move on 'cause the past is the past and theres no tomorrow if remaining in still waters while the river flows on ~dsmith

Good for you, Donna!  It is amazing when we look backwards sometimes and see that we truly are no longer the same person.  Enjoyed this.  *hugs*....jo
